AuthorTopic: Hello World (Read 4901 times)

I am sitting here entering this on my Compaq Armada 1700. It's taken six or seven different distro's before finding VL and three tries to load this onto my Armada before success. I still have a couple of small issues I would like to resolve (hopefully). The bigger one being the size of the desktop. The laptop has a 13.3" but the actual size of the desktop is closer to 10". Is there anything I can do to expand the desktop viewing area to use the whole display? Please if possible keep this in simple terms. I am relatively new to linux.

I reposted in the Hardware & Drivers area and got a response there. etc/X11/xorg.conf - now that I can understand. Never claimed to be swift, but hopefully I will pick up some speed. I like what I see so far.
